My Want
 Jan 2017 Eric Martin

You might be able to live with this
But i can't
I want to kiss you
I want to taste your tongue
I want to look into your eyes
Seeing everything i did right
I want to fall into bed with you
And never get out
I want to hold hands
I want to talk about *** openly
I want you to tease me when you touch me
I want every day without you
To be a day with you
If i don't have that
I don't want to live
I want you, i want you so bad
It's driving me mad
It's driving me...
I am quiet, with deafening thoughts in my head;
Slowly succumbing to insanity.

I am hurt, with all the slashes of lies that I thought were reassuring words. I had foolishly stood in front of it, with open arms.
I am angry, with people who fed me with false hopes when I was so vulnerable.
I am cynical, with the previous events that all led to disappointments. Landing on top of each other like stacks of paper.
I am lonely, with all the time I've spent alone. My visitors are much too busy.
I am sad, with happy news that breathes around me but would never approach me.
I am unworthy, with all my flaws to stay on people's minds. I am merely a speck of dust.
I am tired, with sorrow perched on my shoulder, bringing me down with its weight.
I am empty, with guilt consuming me whole, chipping away my everything.
I am hopeless*, *with everything dashing through, I never shook myself from all the negativity that dragged me, to pull myself up to join the world.
I was too busy wallowing in self pity.

Kumapit ka.

'Wag kang bibitiw mula sa 'king kapit,
Kung kailanga'y dakutin mo ang aking damit.
'Wag nang mag-atubili at ika'y humawak nang mahigpit,
At makinig sa lahat ng aking mababanggit.

Hindi lahat ng pangarap ay nakakamit.
Hindi lahat ng bituin ay naaabot.
Hindi lahat ng bundok ay naaakyat,
At hindi lahat ng kapatagan ay nalilibot.

Hindi lahat ng bukang-liwayway at dapithapon ay romantiko,
Ngunit bakit kaya'y sa bawat pagsalubong ko sa araw ay ikaw lang ang laman ng isip ko?
Hindi lahat ng panahong magkasama tayo ay puno ng kilig,
Pero bakit kaya'y tila nauuwi na yata ito sa pag-ibig?

Hindi lahat ng araw ay puno ako ng tuwa,
Pero salamat nga pala sapagkat ikaw ang dahilan ng aking saya.
Hindi lahat ng tulog ko ay mahimbing at mabisa,
Ngunit dahil ikaw ang aking panaginip, salamat na rin pala.

Ikaw ang pangarap na gusto kong makamit,
Ang bituing nais maabot,
Ang bundok na iniibig kong akyatin,
Ang kapatagang gustong malibot.

Kapag kasama ka'y ang bawat takipsilim ay nagiging romantiko,
Nagiging matingkad ang kulay ng bawat bahaghari,
Nagiging sabay ang kumpas ng bawat kanta sa tibok ng aking puso,
At nagiging katotohanan ang isang pangarap na nais kong makamit

Ngunit salamat sa pagturo sa 'kin
Na hindi lahat ng nagmamahal ay minamahal din.
Hindi lahat ng ginawa ko ay kaya **** gawin.
At ang pinakamasakit sa lahat, ay 'di mo pa rin ako kayang mahalin.
we drove late afternoon
                 over the ***** Rhein,
                 the sky fake with orange,

to Bonn, to a house of cool, emplty rooms,
                white with words, dark with chords,
                to an elegant Hammerflügel;

for my father the end of a journey,
               but the start of the sublime.

Love

a date
agreed after few months and
She was in beautiful white shirt
and jeans
Few buttons on the top
was open
and the urge to self display...
But
I was more disturbed
she asked, "What??"
I replied, "am admiring
your inner self.."
Today is the beautiful New Year day
Lo! The snow white clouds in the blue sky above
A gentle breeze, playing on every leaf
And every heart throbbing with love

There is so much beauty couched in this day
The valleys echo the feathered minstrels’ lay
The tall trees spread their mighty arms
And children, in their shade, joyously play

There is no vexation in the air
The pain of yesterday cast to the bin
The anxiety of tomorrow held at bay
The prospects of today overpowering the din

When I walk through the grassy meads
Wild blossoms kiss my feet
As I inhale the salubrious air
I feel the glee with which Nature, so richly replete

Every heart overflows with cheer
On every face, smile shuttles from lips to eyes
Before me is the promise of a new dawn
      Fresh resolve rekindles every face

      Sprawling before me is a magic realm
To its secret doorway, I hold the keys
Everything around has a shimmering glow
In the bounty of blessings, my heart rejoices

      I tell my spirits to seek no rest
But walk fearless to dizzy heights
Holding the reins and quickening my pace
For I know I am heading towards the lights

      There are great glories for the eyes to see
There is so much for the senses to perceive
From little cares, when the mind, set free
Sure, there’s reason to rejoice than grieve!
……………………………………………
I can always say my glass is only half full
But let me perceive things in the positive way
The day, I know, sure has also a grimy side  
But let us not spoil this lovely New Year day


I wish all my friends on Hello poetry, a great New Year with bright sunshine, a clear sky above, a lot of beauty around and many, many happy occasions to enjoy and cherish!
Winter, winter how we feel your icy touch
The earth is now under your freezing clutch
All that falls in our ears is the howl of gales from far
The night sky is covered in grayness without a single star

In the dawn, nowhere can one spot the buzzing bees
      Icicles hang from boughs of leafless trees
Birds sit with drooping wings in their woody nests
      Within eye shot, no trace of any roaming beasts

Trees stand sleeping in the biting cold
And the sun has lost its bright sheen of gold
From nowhere comes the song of a single bird
On the slopes, one cannot sight the grazing herd

Roof tops are crusted with flakes of snow
Which the sun with sharp beams alone can thaw
Piles of snow lie heaped on the barren ground
And the entire Earth lies in a sea of ice drowned

Busy streets and pavements are now lying bare
People stay indoors and to be out, they hardly dare
      The rodents have gone into hibernation in their ditch
And life altogether has gone out of pitch

In the smiting chill of a dreadful wintry night
When through every fiber n’ nerve is the cold bite
How we like to sit cocooned beside the hearth
Sipping a cup of steaming tea in rising mirth

In such quiet hours, one can peruse into the pages of tomes
That will transport one to enchanting magical zones
Or engage in a hearty chat with friends and family
Thus turning even the bleakest hours sweet and lively
This poem is written visualizing the freezing winter of the West ! Dear friends of the West, spend your winter dreaming of the coming spring ! I know I am a bit old fashioned with a penchant for rhyming verse!
